I know it's possible to script the creation of a large number of generic
users in AD, User1 - User500, but can this be done for a list of specifc
names in a text file? In other words can the script call and create the names
from the text files? This would hopefully keep from having to manually
re-create the names in AD.
Anyone have a script that does this?
Any urgent responses appreciated.

I have an example VBScript program that creates users in bulk from the
information in an Excel spreadsheet linked here:

I received a few other suggestions from other posts to visit your site.
Great job.

Thanks
